   About Earn It Yourself (E.I.Y.)

DO IT YOURSELF: EARN IT YOURSELF.


"E.I.Y.," or "Earn It Yourself," is a philosophy built on the premise that everyone can and should use the Do It Yourself method of the underground to work toward their goals—but they should not accept the guilt people force on them when they succeed in achieving their goals (the guilt that comes with being called a sell-out by your former friends and fans). As long as you have reached your goals and earned your success without compromising your integrity or your values, and have paved your path toward achieving your goals with painstaking effort and devotion, you deserve whatever level of success you desire—be it selling out a basement show or an arena.

Our singer just moved to California from our home in NYC... It gets a tad chilly here on somedays ALREADY and he's in a tee shirt.... sigh can't wait till the shows in Cali start!!

IF  you'd be a dear to check out www.apopheniamusic.com for the latest article on our whereabouts and our new record being produced by the wonderful George Fullan! (Bayside, Kill Your Idols)

 Thank you for breathing air into a  stagnant mode of music business.

Sincerly,

Thanks a lot for the add ! EletriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs makes its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check EletriKa out!

Hugs from Brazil,
